A huge, dead satellite tumbling to Earth is falling slower than expected, and may now plummet down somewhere over the United States tonight or early Saturday, despite forecasts that it would miss North America entirely, NASA officials now say.

NASA expects about 26 large pieces of the UARS spacecraft to survive re-entry through Earth's atmosphere and reach the planet's surface. The biggest piece should weigh about 300 pounds.

So...HEADS UP!

It would be true irony if it landed in Washington, D.C.

Thursday - I wrote over 1300 words.

Friday - Had a previous engagement scheduled this morning. Writing did not happen.

Very pleased and I hope I can keep this schedule up next week.

I did, however, miss a blogfest today. :(

Still time to sign up.

I think I may have bored you guys already with my summer escapades so I didn't participate.

But if you missed my inane ramblings you can visit here for our Beach/Hershey trip or here to see Stormy the Weather Gnome report on Hurricane Irene or here to check out the aftermath of Hurricane Irene.

One last thing...you can still vote for me, or vote again, for the Your Life...The Reader's Digest Version contest on Facebook here.

I'm going to another parade this weekend and watching college football.

What's everyone else doing?

I feel like summer is sneaking out the back door doing the walk of shame and fall has become a giant party crasher spiking the punch!

Where are my days going?I'm always running late. I'm forgetful. I zone out. I feel like I'm off my meds...and I'm not on any meds!

Maybe I should be on some meds!I just feel like my days are zinging right past me and now I'm a little lost.

Better go take some iron pills.

Monday - I wrote maybe 100 words or so. Spent most of the morning writing up my 10 worst movie list. That was fun. I still haven't made it around to visit everyone. Working on it.Tuesday - Had to work, work. That damn work that pays work.

Wednesday - Wrote over 1000 words.

Ahhh. That feels good.

Hoping to do that much damage again tomorrow because I can tell Friday will be a bust already. The weekend...pretty much shot.How about you? Writing? Dancing? Gleeing?

Supernatural starts on the 23rd. Anyone secretly watch this show? Just me? Damn.

10: AVATAR – Yes, folks. Bad movie. I liked this film better the first time around when they called it Pocahontas.

9. TITANIC – It stems from disliking Leonardo DiCaprio. Ugh. He may be a great guy IRL but I think he’s a terrible actor. And this movie just reeked ‘we are begging to get an Oscar’.

8. CLIFFHANGER– There are a lot of bad Stallone movies but this one was DOWNRIGHT revolting. I kept hoping some C4 would take down the whole snowy mountain and kill them all.

7. WATERWORLD – The way I hear it there was a much better script written by Joss Whedon that was thrown out by the ‘powers that be’. Then Mr. Kevin Costner rubbed his man-parts all over the film and made it craptastic.

5. POINT BREAK – Yeah, I get sucked in every time it’s on but it’s still a bad, bad movie. I swear I only watch it to get a Keanu fix if Speed hasn’t been on in a while.

4. ALIEN: RESURRECTION – This pains me. Especially since Alien and Aliens were so good. They gave Joss Whedon partial writing credit of this film but the truth is that they destroyed it. I was completely surprised that Sigourney Weaver even put up with the bullshit.

3. JAWS 3-D and JAWS: THE REVENGE – Some say Jaws 3-D is the 3rd movie. Universal disowns it all together and says Jaws: The Revenge is the 3rd movie. Call it what you will these movies should never have been made. I’m still not totally convinced they didn’t make Jaws: The Revenge just because Michael Caine needed a job.

1. BASKET CASE – Now, you’ve probably never heard of this movie. I wish I had never heard of this movie. Bad choices like this get made by letting the wrong high school friend go to the video rental store and pick out a movie for all of us to watch. I know we didn't sit through the whole movie. It’s sad. It’s pathetic. It's heinous. The only thing horror about this horror film was that someone paid people to make it.

Well, Peeps, that’s my list. I’m sure I missed a TON of great awful movies and I can’t wait to visit some of you to see what you came up with.

I couldn't sleep last night. Woke up about 3:00 something. So, I pulled out my long neglected Maguire's Corner story and read through it.It's only about 30,000 words and nowhere near finished but it's a good start. I still like it.

Sometimes I surprise myself.

It's been a while since I've looked at the story but I don't remember writing certain parts.

Shouldn't I remember?

What does that mean?

Hey! Hold your elderly jokes. I know I'm old.

Yeah, sometimes I walk into a room and stand there not remembering why I went in there.

Sometimes I read the same line in a book three times before it sinks in.

But you would think that I would be able to recall the damn words I put on a page.Guess not.

Going to get some more coffee and ponder my next plot move while I try desperately to stay awake.Any one have plans for the holiday weekend? Besides watching college football that is?

2017. Done.
